    This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. “It’s wrong to wish people dead, except for ‘them’. ‘They’ are fare game.” It’s the same BS we’ve been doing for the whole history of our miserable species.

      Meh, I don’t wish death on anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.

        Nobody’s criticizing people for not being sad. There’s a word for this, “gloating”.

          I still think that’s fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.

      Wait, why do you hate lemmy for this? I think who you actually hate are humans. Reddit and all the other modern social media platforms have the same issues, because they too have humans.

        Yes, but this is just the cherry on top of a steaming turd sundae of other issues I have with Lemmy that I won’t rehash again here. It’s not like my complaining will change anything anyway.

        Compare these reactions to the Ubisoft subreddit, which granted are going to skew fanward. On /r/games the conversation seems to be mixed, with a few dancing on his grave, most expressing dismay at his death while still acknowledging the harm he did to the company and industry as a whole. Plenty of people are simply discussing the dangers of small aircraft.

      That pretty much nails my feelings. Charlie Kirk is a huge piece of shit and I’m glad he died honestly. But I’d be a worse person if I made a personality out of mocking him for being dead. Can’t we just take the win? Fate decided a bad person was over. I wish that could be that.

      this isn’t complicated

      the social contract basically boils down to, you at a baseline do right by me and in return I do the same for you

      assholes like this and other rich fucks try to game this system for profit by literally harming parts of our lives via loopholes

      when ass fucks say lets hurt person ‘insert something that has no impact on anything’ like skin color or sexuality that is wrong

      when people talk about wishing death on people that are literally fucking with our lives it should obviously not be the same

      whether tanking a video game falls into that bucket is nuanced but people like the united health fuck are easily fair game

      Stop hating Lemmy. For me, it’s my way of communicating that I’m a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist. I can do my part to sway the public opinion that humans should all go extinct. I can spread the idea of humans being the monsters, the true enemies of the planet and all it’s life. I can see it slowly taking hold of the world, people coming to terms with our monstrous nature. Someday in the far future, perhaps we all choose to self-terminate. We are not divine nor special, just meat.
